Chris took to him immediately and they started chatting away as if they were old friends. I left them talking and laughing. By the way, the young man is a tri-palegic, no legs and 1 arm and hand, I think Chris learned something from him at first glance.

This message came to me just when I need it most .... learned a few days ago I need a pacemaker and have had a problem adjusting to the news. I've been trying to put things into perspective ... and this message helped me tremendously.

My thanks to you, to your son, to the young man in the wheelchair and to Ditter for the original post.

Oh, that was so wonderful. I call that a warm fuzzy for your soul.

I've seen a version of that little story before, Ditter, and it always touches my heart. My little nephew was 12 when he passed away and his favorite things in the world were fishing with his Grandpa, and Pepsi with Beef Jerky. Every year, on the mantle, I have a can of Pepsi, with a celephane wrapped piece of Jerky. He helps me decorate every time.
